Homebrew Draconic Species Details

Many reptiles derive their body warmth and energy from the sun, but the humanoid Draconic are fueled by an inner fire of bloodlust. Open with their emotions, Draconic can be hot-tempered, but they are also quick to their hissing laughter. And they easily form close bonds of friendship. They are fierce warriors and passionate advocates for their guilds and causes.

Scaled Skin, Tail Blades, and wings

Draconic resemble humanoid lizards covered in red to blue, scaled skin and spiky protrusions. Their heads jut forward from their slender necks and bear huge mouths full of sharp teeth. Long, whiplike tails extend from their spines, lashing behind them — faster and faster as they grow more agitated. Their tails are tipped with bony blades they can use as weapons. They have wings the span of their height

Fervent and Fiery

Draconic are fiercely emotional and often violent, and their wizards and sorcerers favor fire spells that reflect their inner fire. They are most common among the Gruul Clans, especially the Slizt clan. Occasionally they put their zealous fire to use in the service of higher ideals, joining the Boros Legion. Other Draconic instead pursue careers in the Izzet League, where they find a special role wielding Izzet-designed flamespewing scorchbringers. Like fire itself, Draconic are quick to leap from one situation to another, and they are frequently destructive in the process. They enjoy brawling and often cause more injury than intended, thanks to their teeth and bladed tails. They’re also easily distracted, jumping from one idea to another in an instant. Likewise, they’re easily bored, and if nothing captures their attention, they’ll do something interesting.
